Friday and away we go again and better then ever

We bin stuck in an elevator and no hurry to get out, but then some one noticed the elevator hadn't worked for a while and party and fun was over. Diane and I have been so blessed by all of you as we spent time with so many of you the past two months. From Powell River British Columbia to Brandon Manitoba , you fed us and encouraged us and opened so many doors for God to use us as we continue to promote and present the building of the Battle River Ranch Camp. The ranch is being so blessed as not a day goes by that someone's not wanting a tour and update on the place of miracles.

Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Hardly a day goes by if ever that I don't consider, man Lord can a I screw up any worse or fail you at so many opportunities to make a differance in someone's life. It don't take a whole lot, it just takes stepping back and looking out the window and not in the mirror. We here in Canada have been so blessed, I don't believe I know any one that lives here that hasn't been blessed over and over again. In Mexico if someone needs a home they get at it and find every piece of old lumber,tin or cardboard and build a shelter that works for now and everyone is satistfied and feels blessed. God can build what ever He needs from a pile of clay but are we the right stuff for the job He needs to get done. Now once He forms and molds us will we follow no matter what, cause I know that most of us give up a way to soon and choose a differant route one that's not so hard to follow. Hold on just a little bit longer things can and will get a whole lot better and it always makes us a whole lot stronger and hopefully, just hopefully a little bit smarter.

Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center.

Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost.

We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can.

This is a ministry for those that have a heart and desire to make a difference in the lives of others with the skills and gifts they have been blessed with and have a desire to pass on what they know to the next generation.

You are always welcome to visit and we look forward to your input. This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area. You may not know a lot about God but God knows everything about you and He loves you more than anyone can or ever will.

God Bless You and Your Family!!!

Harold & diane Stephan and

Board of Directors of the Battle River Ranch Camp

Psalm 23 (King James Version)

Psalm 23

¹The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

³He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
